Kate - 8 months old

To Kate: seems like just yesterday we were in the hospital waiting for a doctor, any doctor to tell us it was time to deliver you. Well time flies and 8 months later here we are. You are such a sweet baby, we rarely hear you cry. You love to laugh, mainly at your big sister and dog. This month you started scooting around the house, finding Zack's water and food bowls, drinking from a sippy cup, and exploring lots of different foods. Your favorites are green beans, raspberry yogurt, and cereal puffs.

When placed in a standing position you love to stand. In fact there are times we think you are just going to stand up and start walking. We had to lower your crib mattress this month and also put baby gates at the stairs. You are mobile now and there is no stopping you.

This month you visited Washington DC, went junkin' with Mommy, and went to Athens for the first time. In fact we took this picture of you on Herty Field near the fountain on campus. It was fun to walk around campus with you and Maddy. Daddy and I daydreamed what it would be like if you or Maddy (or both) went to UGA. You can go anywhere you like but you will always be a "Dawg" at heart. Can't wait to see wait your future holds.
